The imagery update which was released this Tuesday was pretty big. In fact, the official list just released is quite lengthy. Google has just posted the answers to their little riddle post, and the details which I’ll repeat here for your enjoyment. Oh, and it’s not only imagery, but also new higher resolution 3D terrain in Montbeliard, France; Antarctica; Portugal; and Fort Saskatchewan, Canada. Thanks to all the GEB readers who contributed to the list I was updating this week to help people find new imagery! Also, note that there are several new countries with Spot Image 2.5 meter (medium resolution) data – Like North Korea and near its border in China. You’re going to love exploring all this new imagery.

pls sir update to fatehpur District gujurat .google earth is the amizing .
Finally, McMurdo Station in Antarctica has high resolution. Image pretty dark though.
When will they put more of Scotland in high resolution? The imagery for the Orkney Islands is pathetic.
How do I get Google Earth to update the area where I live? There have been many changes due to development and agricultural activities. The last update was sometime in early 2004.
In France, it’s Bordeaux (capital of wine) and not Bourdeaux
On the April Imagery Update, my Property located at 49-14-22N /122-12-46W gives me an upgrade with a superior Image but a down date with an Image taken on the eleventh day of March 2004. The superior Image permits me to date it by the clearly defined activities. Previously the Image was from late 2006 or early 2007. I traveled the world for over 30 years and like to visit the many places on Google Earth and note the changes but I don’t need a history lesson. The gray 3D buildings in most Cities are disappointing. The best I have found is Hamburg Germany.
In Romania list … the first town it’s IASI not LASI.

What about the Philippines?? Its been ages since an update??!
And how about Bristol, England. Many changes…
Anyways keep up the good work 🙂
waht is about south of germany ? South from munic we have a lot of changes and the last update was sometime in 2002.
good work, big planet but slow updates 🙁
When will the Fresno area be updated?
The current data is FIVE years old.
I bought the Pro version and it’s useless!
It has the same images as when I bought the first version of Keyhole.
Interestingly enough, the imagery for the Owens valley was updated when Steve Fossett went missing and that’s only 40 miles away as the crow files.
I’ve been waiting for more than a year to see some updated imagery (with good resolution) covering Nepal. One would expect Google to be more generous in covering the place(s) with the highest mountain range in the world.
Please don’t just concentrate on North America and Europe.
Hi,
The Bangalore map is more than 4 years old and comes as not so pleasant surprise especially when Google has a software development centre here.
Major roads and residential layouts have sprung up in last 5 years. People from all over the world come here for business/pleasure and it would be helpful to them as well as we residents if we can see the latest satelite images of Bangalore.
It would be great if Google can update the latest maps for Bangalore.
Regards,
Deepak
PLS add Lublin in Poland/EU. Largest city in eastern Poland and the capital of Lublin Voivodeship. ~ 51.239136 22.568665
http://maps.google.pl/?ie=UTF8&ll=51.239136,22.568665&spn=0.30651,0.639954&z=11
Nepal is left out in terms of new updated high resolution imageries whereas the neighboring regions are pretty well swollen with it. But I can not think Google Earth in terms of its partiality to nations. Whatever is given is great anyway. If Google Earth was not there, we would not have made such a comment. It does not mean that we are not longing to see more good things for the Himalayas from GE.
How to show county names in Google Earth????
I need the date of the Earth Google image now shown at the point S 29°58’40” – W 69°38’00”, in Argentina mountain zone.
I selected the layer More for see the imagery limits and info, but exactly this point is located amongst dated rectangles, out of any rectangle. Some closer images are Spot dated in Jan-Mar 2007, but I noted that the place I referred was updated about May 2008.
I cannot find how to consult about imagery dates. Does exist an on-line service where I enter coordinates and I get the date?
Thank you,
Gabriel – Argentina
